AN EXTRA LEAF

Amongst the fields of lush green lies something beautiful, but mostly unseen.
Many will walk by,
Not caring for the rare treasure.
Their eyes focused on the fields of great measure.
But for the one who stops and looks,
A special plant they do see.
A tiny clover with four leaves, not the typical three.
An extra measure of blessing some think.

A prize
A rarity

Tucked away in your pocket it may bring great prosperity.
Not designed like the rest.

Not better
Not worse

Just a plant with an extra leaf.
Created in part, to help us with the very simple belief,
That treasures are not always what we think.
Sometimes they require an extra look,
Almost lost in a wink.
To see the gift that we may miss
That extra leaf that brings with it a beautiful bliss
